Salama, I’m Maholy
Conservation scientist and lemur steward in Madagascar
My conservation work combines scientific research, community engagement, and ecosystem restoration to protect critically endangered lemurs in Madagascar. I help empower Malagasy communities to become wildlife guardians, integrating conservation with local livelihoods and sustainable development.

Our Impact
I work at the intersection of science, conservation, and community action to protect Madagascar’s most endangered species and their habitats. Our conservation projects support large-scale, community-led reforestation initiatives that restore native forests and strengthen local livelihoods.
Education is central to lasting conservation. By engaging children and young people, we can shape the next generation of conservation leaders - building knowledge, values and behaviours that can be carried across generations. Alongside women and community leaders, they become long-term partners in protecting the forests and wildlife that sustain their communities.

Support Lemur Conservation
Madagascar’s lemurs are the most threatened group of mammals on Earth, with more than 90% of species at risk of extinction.
Safeguarding these critically endangered populations depends on protecting and restoring the forests they rely on—and doing so in partnership with the communities who live alongside them. By combining scientific research, habitat restoration, and locally led conservation, our efforts directly strengthen the survival of lemurs while building long-term stewardship with Malagasy communities.
